Research Symposium Day

The mission of the annual Physician-Scientist Research Symposium at UC San Diego is to foster a vibrant community of physician-scientists at every stage of their career. Each year, we highlight a fresh, relevant theme to spark engaging discussions and foster communication around biomedical science and career development. In this way, the symposium builds a strong, supportive network, showcases cutting-edge science and celebrates both the challenges and the achievements that define this unique career path.
